Varying speed of tracks

Post by camrichard1 » Fri Jun 10, 2011 8:01 am

Hi, I need to be able to vary the speed of my music - just to very slightly increase or decrease the speed of a track. I imagine this is possible in audacity but I haven't yet found out how - could someone help me?

If you want to change the speed of the entire track by the same amount, use the "Change Speed" effect.
If you want to make a gradual speed change, then you need to use "Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift...." which is only available in recent versions of Audacity 1.3.x

You can get Audacity 1.3.13 from here (highly recommended, it's a lot better than the old 1.2. version): http://audacityteam.org/download/
